Sam Katz's shop windows not broken
The store was on the block between 133rd and 134th Streets, north of most of the reported violence on 7th Avenue. There were two reports of broken windows north of 135th Street, in Moskowitz's tailor's shop two blocks north and a shoe repair shop two blocks further north. Around three-quarters of the businesses on the block were white-owned, more than in surrounding blocks.
While both stories describe Katz as a glazier, his business is recorded in the MCCH business survey as awnings and window shades. The signage on the store is not visible in the Tax Department photograph taken between 1939 and 1941.
